Contessa Donatella

Today, Day 17 of PM/EK we have a Breakdown Writer credited, one of the two we know was let go - Ashley D. Cooke.

The soapy messiness on today's GH was brought to us by the emoji 🔥 for hot, angry hate sex! It's been so long we forgot we could have it! Most of the folks gnashing their teeth on TwiXt today are Liz &/or Sam fans who are furious that Jason is not with their chosen one. Sure, there are some SoNa fans but they are not numerous nor are they LOUD. Well put. And, it is a detail but you are correct about it. FB has a huge Willow Family group.

Yes but that is more about Sonny than about Jason! At least I do not think that Sonny is now or ever has been brilliant. Jason thinks differently but he does think & he does reach correct conclusions. And he is better than other people are if compartmentalization is useful. Some of us on TwiXt are loving this mess! I am surprised that CM posted those pix & also that they've gotten to this angry sex so quickly, but not that they are doing it!

Well, I think it is a good idea for them to give him at least one actual reason for the paranoia. Only seems fittin'

Yes, after the beginning, sure, you're right. He could have easily done basic research then. Now we can ask ourselves WHYNOT?!!!

I have personally delivered the idea to Patrick Mulchahey for Alexis to begin to have dreams of a past life where she was a woman named Julia something or other.

I guess I don't see someone basically in the position of a prisoner, presumably being held at Quantico, as having the means at hand to do even the most basic research.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did like this: Jason: You lied to me! Why should I honor our agreement, Jagger?! You knew my mother. And you engineered a situation where I would have to lie about not being alive. But I would have to admit that it is a pretty thin reason to craft a character.

Yes, I think that was what was happening when he was generally in many scenes, over & over, sticking out his hand & saying, "I go by John now." At first he was incredibly boring & repetitious. Now he fits, has purpose, etc. Spoiler They are taping the wedding next week & it airs in April so it will be one of their quick turnarounds. Gregory does make it through the wedding but dies shortly after.

Yes, of course, the timeline was important. The show would not have wanted to be fined by the WGA. Adam J. Harrington auditioned at the same time that Charles Mesure did & with the same people. They liked Mesure for Brennan but they really liked Harrington & so tucked him away, or put a pin in him, until they could figure a part they wanted to use him in. I realize that doesn't answer your question but it is generally more information. It was worse than boring. It was in bad taste, derivative, repetitive. I realize I forgot to mention Liz. In the C&D script Jason was hurt & went to Liz & she nursed him & hid him & supposedly it was a lot like a rerun of her with Nik & a pregnant "prisoner Esme".

The C&D script for Jason's re-entry was wholly thrown out. The script that we saw was written from scratch. EK began working on it immediately by herself but then in a very short time she was joined by PM. The C&D script included an alive but harmed Morgan, Jennifer Smith, an alive Susan Moore, brainwashing, danger to Sonny & Jason as savior.

I always thought it was something like me & my baby brother. 13 years difference in our ages.

“We had the Q’s, who were a real family, wonderful to write for, either played by old pros like Stuart and Leslie and John, or by terrific young actors like Steve and Amber. Alan's drug addiction was one of my favorite stories. So was the Robin-Jason romance..” - Patrick Mulcahey Well, in certain quarters this word is out. I usually do not post rumors but for reasons I can't mention, I think this one is true. Michael Easton is out at GH. If indeed it is true, we'll find that out. UPDATE: Easton was taken off contract last week. That is confirmed. Whether that just puts him on recurring or is out is yet unknown.

Actually it wasn't a writer who came up with Kraze at all. But, once that person did so, sure, it was the scabs job to write it. I had endometriosis & was misdiagnosed & when it was finally correctly diagnosed tried various hormone therapies but had to have surgery as it was Stage 4 (of 4 possible). You are correct that they messed up the endometriosis story. Part of every month Molly would have been in pain to the degree that she certainly couldn't have hidden it from a doctor she was living & sleeping with. I was watching. I tried to imagine that Molly had a high pain tolerance level but I did, so that supposition didn't work. I tried to ask people if earlier Molly had shown signs of being super Stoic or something but everyone said not. Finally I just settled on the unfortunately typical disregard for "details" with medical conditions that we know is true of soaps.

I would totally love for Krissy to miscarry. But I still want Kraze if and only if the show is going to really do them as they began to!

Possibly this might be of interest.

Well, I thought Kristina was understandably confused. Ali acted like she didn't know her & Ali herself volunteered her explanation upfront, so it seemed like she thought Kristina had a reason to be confused. Immediately Kristina was fine & understood. When they're together & alone they have mature, adult conversations & they really communicate well. My preference would be for them to stay together but that is going to be up to the show. We've yet to see them on a date out somewhere. They've made love that we've seen one night. And there is the matter of only being together alone for under 8 minutes in 3 weeks' time. That's just no way to build a romantic pairing. There are plenty of fans who want Kraze. But it's not up to them/us. I have no problem with Ali being in the closet. It is very realistic & also relatable that people don't come completely out until they have a reason to do so & usually that is a relationship which is what happened here. Sasha & Cody definitely had a real story, possibly one of the realest. Kraze was developed like a real LGBTQ+ couple, over time. Forever & a day Blaze was there, wherever Krissy was, flirting. It's just now they seem to be at a crossroads & so far from the writing team, it's crickets.

I heard that KW said he is doing very well & thinks he will be able to return sometime during May.

Just for the record, obviously when Kraze was created Frank was in charge. But, Chris & Dan did not create the pairing. I realize that's not what you said, just happen to know, so clarifying. Kraze was "thought up" during the strike & for that reason the author remains unknown. I hate that about strikes, don't you? And, of course, that might have something to do with the lack of focus on the relationship.

Really enjoyed it, too, but my favorite moment was the delicious soapy irony of Sam being suspicious that Danny didn't come directly home with the others & then it turned out he had gone by Eckert's to get donuts to celebrate Dante's homecoming! I love Patrick & his concept of family drama.

And in the spoilers there are 2 possibly related events. One day Sonny is furious at Jason. The next day they have a tense meeting. So, next week, something is definitely up with Sonny & Jason! (Tues. & Wed.) History: Jason was the first to buy into the coffee business. Later, Sonny joined him as a partner.
